Hello everyone,
I just started to post webstories. Do I need to submit new sitemaps for them or is it automatically added to the sitemap originally put in GSC?
Thank you<
Hey Nat,
If you're using the Rank Math plugin, you can submit your sitemap from inside your website any time you would like it to be re-examined by Google's spiders.
If you do not use Rank Math, then the following Google tutorial and discussion may offer you the help you seek:

Hope you find this helpful.
Hi - just as an aside, I tried Google Web Stories about a year ago and got absolutely no traffic or rankings for them.
At that time, they were only visible in the US, Brazil, and India, I don't know if that has changed.
But they were certainly not worth the time and effort for me!
Hello Diane.
Thank you. I know from travel bloggers who are having crazy amount of traffic from webstories. So I decided to try it as well.
Maybe it depends on niche and the time.

Thank you Diane.
Maybe they were not so popular at that time. I don't know what is your niche but also food recipes are doing well.

Hello guys,
I did a little research about syndicating my articles to Medium. However, I have a question.
If you syndicate your article, do you keep the affiliate disclos
I would not, as they may not rank well vs. writing your take original in your own words, even on medium.
I would still change the wording versus posting precisely the same as in repurposing content.
I usually wait till they marinate well in the search engines before turning them into commercial intent.

Dear all,
I'm destroyed. I worked on one article, all written with pictures saved on the content creator on WA platform last night. Now I came to check it and publish it
No, I'm sure I didn't. The article is there, but only the headlines. All the content with pictures is gone.
Ah if you click on revisions it will give you the last revised article so you should see the last info that was saved.
yes I did. I'm on it. But shall I click restore? The other option says back to the current version.
Yes click restore and your latest article will pop up. You can then click ‘save ‘ again to make sure it’s been saved
Uff. Thank you so much, dear. I managed to restore it. I was crying like a baby here, scared all my work is gone.
Thank you and have a good day.
You are most welcome:-) it’s happened to me a few times but Site Content always saves and you can always restore.
Enjoy your day too ☀️
Did you check the unpublished section that is where it is most likely and site support won't help as site content has nothing to do with them? they only work on technical issues for your website
yes, sure I have checked it. The article is there but only the headlines. All the content and pictures are gone.
How they can't help? It is technical. Something happened on the technical side. It couldn't just disappear like this.
Thank you

Dear community, I have a question. Someone commented on my article. I approved it and replied. However, next to that person's comment is showing a picture of me. Why is that? I
there are issues in the platform - it doesn't mean that they are taking over your profile - but the avatars are not being shown in the right place...
i am sure they are trying to sort it but are having issues finding the bugs to sort...
i have highlighted this issue in the official bug thread....
pressing ctrl+f5 (pc) normally sorts it -but they may be working on solutions that don't clear it with this...
You may need to empty the browser cache, refresh and try again. Try URL in a different browser or mobile device.
You can also empty servers cache.
Websites > Site Manager > Details > Sitespeed > Empty site cache
Try the above and see if still there.
Hello Abie,
Thank you. I did that. It is still showing. Also, I asked other people to check and they saw the same.
Phil is saying there's an issue with the platform; however, not to my knowledge.
Have you contacted Gravatar and asked them what's happening?

There's no harm in resubmitting sitemaps.
